Chapter 301 If he were a decent man, shouldn't he go to the woman's house to propose marriage first?
Xiao Mobao saw this scene and, without thinking, rushed over to try and block the iron hook.
"Get out of the way!" he yelled, his voice cracking.
Xiao Su Bao trembled slightly, and when she turned her head, she saw the cold, gleaming hook.
"Die!" The second-in-command revealed a cruel smile, looking as if he had come from hell.
In a daze, the little dumpling seemed to feel a sharp pain coming from the back of its heart.
I looked up and seemed to see my father's figure.
"Father..."
Little Su Bao called softly. She reached out her hand, forgetting the iron hook in front of her, only wanting to touch that face she had never seen before.
"Daddy, don't be afraid..." Little Su Bao said instinctively when she saw that terrified face.
But there was nothing in front of me...
She could see the dangers in others, but she couldn't see her own crisis...
My vision blurred again, and all I saw was that cold, merciless iron hook. So she wasn't dead after all!
Father!
It's Daddy!
The little dumpling woke up and desperately tried to grab the iron hook with both of its tiny hands!
She can't become a star, but she wants to see her father, even just for a moment!
Little Su Bao also wants to know what it's like to have a daddy...
"You can't stop him!" The second-in-command held the iron hook, as if he had used all his strength, and revealed a vicious smile to Xiao Su Bao.
Seeing her frightened expression, I felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
"I can do it!" Little Su Bao's babyish voice was filled with an unprecedented determination.
She won't die, she absolutely cannot die...
The little dumpling clung desperately to the iron hook...
This scene, however, was witnessed by Tang Bugui, who had just rushed in.
daughter……
“Su Bao…” His eyes widened, and his body suddenly broke out in a sweat.
Tang Bugui's heart trembled slightly. He didn't need anyone to prove it; he recognized his daughter at just one glance!
Tang Bugui grabbed the sword at his waist and leaped into the air. His eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he only regretted that he was too slow!
The little dumpling heard that voice it had never heard before and instinctively turned its head to look.
Suddenly, a handsome man riding a white horse, dressed in black, galloped toward him.
"Father...Father..."
The little dumpling's eyes lit up immediately; she really saw her father alive...
Tang Bugui seemed to be a god descending from heaven.
He grabbed Xiao Su Bao with one hand and used the other to pierce the bandit leader's chest with his longsword.
This set of movements was extremely fierce, but with his other hand he tightly protected Xiao Su Bao's head against his chest.
"Don't be afraid... Father is here..." His voice trembled, his eyes were red...
He was truly terrified...
If it had been any later, would he have lost his daughter?
Thankfully he arrived in time; thankfully he didn't abandon the matter...
Xiao Su Bao's body was tense, and she bit her lip tightly, feeling as if everything in front of her was a dream.
She kept her eyes tightly shut, clutching Tang Bugui's clothes, her head pressed against her father's chest.
Daddy's heart is beating so fast!
But there was a strange sense of security in it!
She pursed her lips, her heart pounding along with her father's.
This must be a dream!
She had only ever seen her father in her dreams. Could she be dreaming right now?
Little Su Bao quickly closed her eyes tightly; she didn't want to wake up!
The little girl was terrified that if she opened her eyes, her father would be gone, and all she would see was that merciless iron hook.
She just gripped Tang Bugui's hand even tighter...
"Su Bao..."
Tang Bugui was terrified when he saw no movement from his daughter in his arms for a long time. He hurriedly threw away his blood-stained sword and kicked the sword that he usually treasured.
I just killed someone, so I mustn't scare my daughter!
Guard Ling also came over, and he picked up his general's sword with a pained look in his eyes.
"General, this is a Longquan sword..." he muttered to himself, his gaze falling on Xiao Su Bao.
Tang Bugui was already a little nervous, and upon hearing Ling's words, he immediately grabbed him.
"Please look at my daughter! What's wrong? Why are her eyes closed? Is she terrified? Or...?"
Tang Bugui kept babbling on and on, his grip on Xiao Su Bao tightening even more.
Guard Ling...
"General, let go quickly..." Guard Ling said with a dark face, reaching out to pull the little baby out of his general's arms.
“You’re so strong, holding me so tightly will…” He was about to say that it would hurt Xiao Su Bao, but then he paused.
With a tearing sound, Tang Bugui's black robe was ripped open at the waist...
Little Su Bao's hands were still tightly gripping the piece of clothing.
Tang Bugui was taken aback.
It was his first time being a father, and he wasn't any more nervous than his daughter.
But when he looked at his own clothes and then at his little baby, he couldn't help but pause, his eyelids twitched, and a wave of tenderness washed over him.
"Hey... General, you've got wrinkles around your eyes!" Guard Ling couldn't help but say.
"What are you standing there for? Come over here and see what's wrong with my daughter? Why won't she open her eyes!" Tang Bugui glared at the guard Ling, who was looking on with amusement.
"Ahem, alright!" Seeing that his general was truly angry, Guard Ling quickly put on a stern face and became serious.
You must know, our general is a man who can handle even the emperor and empress with ease.
At this moment, I felt uneasy and my heart was pounding.
You've never seen the world before!
Guard Ling sighed inwardly.
Little Su Bao still didn't open her eyes, but her little hands couldn't help but secretly reach out.
Following the sound of Tang Bugui's voice, they slowly touched Tang Bugui's face.
Tang Bugui was talking to Guard Ling when he suddenly felt a pair of soft, delicate hands, and his body stiffened abruptly.
His hands clenched involuntarily, Tang Bugui pursed his lips, his eyes widened, his gaze fixed on Xiao Su Bao, his body stiff with tension.
The girl touched him!
The soft and adorable little girl touched his face!
Tang Bugui's lips curled up in a happy smile, which was incredibly bright.
The little dumpling looks exactly like the one in the portrait...
Especially since he's wearing a bright red dress today, it makes him look even more like one...
It's a painting of myself after I spat out blood...
He secretly glanced at his daughter, and when he saw her thin face and felt her rough little hands, Tang Bugui's smile instantly vanished, and only his heart ached.
That's Tang Bugui's daughter, how can she be so thin and frail...
That move...
He looked down at the little baby's hands, which were covered in calluses...
"Su Bao...look at Daddy, isn't he alright?"
Tang Bugui spoke in a low, gentle voice, which made Guard Ling's eyes widen in surprise.
"Huh..." Guard Ling's eyes widened immediately, and even his hand, which was taking Xiao Su Bao's pulse, paused.
"What's wrong? How is my daughter Su Bao's health?" Tang Bugui looked at Guard Ling nervously, thinking that Guard Ling had noticed something wrong with his daughter's health.
Guard Ling quickly composed himself and told himself not to look at the seriously ill general.
"It's nothing serious, but his constitution was a little weak. However, he must have been taken care of by a master, and he's much better now. As long as he takes good care of himself, his health will definitely be excellent..." Guard Ling released his hand and coughed lightly as he spoke.
Hearing this, Xiao Su Bao was stunned, while Tang Bu Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're alright. If you need any medicinal herbs, just let me know. Anything is fine!" Tang Bugui said solemnly to Guard Ling.
"Yes!" Guard Ling replied, and said no more.
Little Su Bao has her little ears perked up, and the tuft of hair on her head is twitching, making her look exceptionally cute.
She secretly listened to their conversation; her father's voice sounded so nice.
She couldn't hold back any longer and cautiously opened her eyes.
Just then, their eyes met. Tang Bugui looked at the little dumpling and felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
Those eyes are exactly the same as Shuyu's...
She looks like a pitiful little deer, making you want to hold her in your hands.
"Little Su Bao, it's Daddy..." Tang Bugui was about to speak when he suddenly felt a headache. He turned his head and saw Xiao Mo Bao and Xiao Yu Er standing not far away, watching him warily.
In front of him, Tang Qi stared at the man with a dark expression.
"You bandit, you look all grown up, but you're good for nothing but doing the most inhuman things..." Tang Qi was furious when he saw the person who had 'kidnapped' his little sister!
Tang Bugui was taken aback, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
For some reason, Tang Bugui felt that this person's face looked somewhat familiar...
However, none of that matters; what matters is my daughter!
"I'm not a bandit! This is my daughter... I..." Tang Bugui rarely showed any patience, mainly because his daughter was by his side, and he just wanted to talk to her!
Tang Qi didn't give him a chance to finish speaking. He rushed over, gripped the stick tightly, gritted his teeth, and struck him down.
With the little baby in his arms, Tang Bugui leaped and spun around, instantly dodging Tang Qi's attack.
"Second brother, father, don't fight!" The little dumpling hugged Tang Bugui's neck tightly in fright, his heart pounding wildly.
My father is half a head taller than my tallest brother, the second oldest in the family, and he's really good-looking...
But why has Father's hair turned white...?
So this is what Daddy's embrace is like!
Her eyes lit up, and she hugged her father greedily, her small body pressed tightly against Tang Bugui.
Tang Bugui was missing a piece of cloth from his waist, making him look slightly disheveled, but his imposing manner remained undiminished.
"Second brother?"
"Father?"
The two men looked at each other, their eyes filled with hostility.
"Where's my second uncle?" Little Mo Bao asked suddenly when he saw that Tang Qi was alone.
Tang Qi...
He saw that Xiao Su Bao was alright, and to be honest, the little dumpling and Tang Bugui looked remarkably alike.
Just by looking at them, you can tell they are related by blood!
But, doesn't Little Su Bao only have her mother?
How did a father suddenly appear?
Tang Qi, however, did not believe Tang Bugui in his heart...
While keeping a close eye on Tang Bugui, he replied to Xiao Mobao, "He's holding off those bandits over there, so I came to rescue you first..."
"Bandits?" Tang Bugui looked at Guard Ling, who turned and left.
"Su Bao, come to your second brother's side first. You've never met him before. What if he's a bad person?" Tang Qi looked at Su Bao and said seriously.
When the little dumpling was so pitiful, where was her biological father?
The little guy has finally calmed down a bit, and he's determined not to let this guy hurt the little dumpling.
Little Su Bao was a little at a loss. She looked at her father and then at her second brother's outstretched hand.
Caught between two big men, the little guy looked even smaller, more helpless, and more pitiful!
Tang Qi frowned, his eyes filled with suspicion as he looked at Tang Bugui.
"Su Bao, come here!" Tang Qi said with a stern face, adding a touch of seriousness to his expression.
Little Su Bao glanced at her father, but still reached out her hand to Tang Qi.
"Who are you?" Tang Bugui frowned, reluctant to hand his daughter over to Tang Qi.
“I am his second older brother. If you are Su Bao’s father, where have you been all these years?”
Where were you when she was covered in injuries? Where were you when she was lost in the freezing cold, wearing only a thin layer of clothing?
"You say you're Su Bao's father? Do you deserve it? If it weren't for her good fortune, do you think you'd even have a chance to see her again? Since you gave birth to her but didn't raise her, why did you even show up and add to the sorrow!" Tang Qi's face turned red with anger, and he grabbed the little dumpling.
But when her hands touched the little dumpling, she was still much gentler.
He felt sorry for Xiao Su Bao, so he didn't like Tang Bugui regardless of whether he was Xiao Su Bao's father or not.
After all, in Xiao Su Bao's occasional words, the only people who were kind to her were her mother and her mute grandmother...
If Tang Bugui is a good person, why would he let his daughter live in her maternal grandmother's house?
Why haven't they stood up for so many years?
He also learned from his mother and wife that the little guy's body was covered with scars of all sizes...
This is only a four-and-a-half-year-old child!
I wonder what the little guy has been through all these years.
The more Tang Qi thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared fiercely at Tang Bugui.
He picked up the little baby and prepared to leave.
I really don't want to see this man in front of me even once.
Tang Bugui trembled violently upon hearing Tang Qi's words.
He knew the little guy had a hard life when he was investigating, but he never expected...
He was breathing heavily, and tears slowly streamed down his face.
Even though he had been stabbed dozens of times, he didn't cry. But at this moment, Tang Bugui felt pain even in his breathing.
Thinking of how Xiao Su Bao was bullied by the Lan family, he wished he could go back and tear the Lan family to pieces.
"Su Bao..." Tang Bugui called the little dumpling's name softly, his eyes fixed on her thin little face.
Tang Qi felt angry when he saw this.
"And what are you pretending to be all lovey-dovey for, pretending to be a loving father and daughter? According to what the little dumpling said, you and her mother were not married before she was born. Have you thought about that woman's future? Have you thought about what would happen if she had a child?"
"Shouldn't a decent man go to a woman's house to propose marriage first?"
Tang Qi snorted lightly, then turned and left, carrying Xiao Su Bao with an air of arrogance.
"This world is already harsh on women, but you, knowing full well that this would ruin her reputation, still ruined that woman's life, and ruined our little Su Bao, ruined her life..."
Tang Qi looked into Xiao Su Bao's clear eyes, but ultimately didn't say what he was going to say.
"I'm sorry!" he said, lowering his proud head and his voice trembling.
"Don't you dare apologize to me. You haven't apologized to me!" Tang Qi snorted coldly, thinking that the little dumpling and his mother weren't worth it.
"As a husband, you are heartless and ungrateful; as a father, you are utterly irresponsible... How can you be worthy of Xiaosubao calling you 'Daddy'?"
Tang Qi shouted indignantly, completely unaware that two black eggs had appeared beside him.
Guard Ling silently drew his longsword...
Don't stop him, he's going to kill this loose-tongued guy!
